I can't help but feel it looks a little to 'surfy' at the moment. I can't really explain it, but the big logo with small text makes it look like a brand of clothing aimed at surfers. It's not really appropriate. Especially in Edmondsans (I did an extra test to be completely sure). The bottom example looks a little better, and it helps having Gotham.
I feel as though I need a new typeface, however. One that reflects the symbol. Something rounded, whilst still being uniform. I did a few tests to prove that serif & slab-serif weren't appropriate:
